Task1. The first plenary meeting will give the opportunity to exchange
research results and methodologies, to discuss the main issues in order to
meet the objectives, and to select relevant common issues to be developed.
Development of selected issues will be based on bibliographical research,
discussions and interviews with firms, public institutions and other
